This week St Anthony is joined by author of The First Game With My Father, Michael Tierney. They discuss all things Celtic including Sean Connery, Gerard Butler, Ben Bradley et al.

Also the Celtic FC Foundation have just a few team places left for their first golf day which is taking place on World Autism Day – 2nd April, at Renfrew Golf Club.

CELTIC FC FOUNDATION GOLF DAY TO TAKE PLACE ON WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY

CELTIC FC Foundation’s inaugural Golf Day will coincide with World Autism Awareness Day on Thursday, April 2.

World Autism Awareness Day is an initiative launched by the United Nations General Assembly to promote awareness and understanding of people with autism.

Celtic FC Foundation’s first Golf Day is scheduled to take place at Renfrew Golf Club with all proceeds raised going towards a project that will help children and young people with autism. In collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, Celtic FC Foundation intend to create a project which will offer an opportunity to enhance each child’s wellbeing through supported physical activity such as football and dance with a focus on fun.

Female Only Football Fans in Training (FFIT) is a 13-week programme delivered here at Celtic Park in collaboration with the Scottish Professional Football League Trust and Celtic FC Foundation.

The aim of FFIT is to encourage female supporters, 35 to 65 years old, to make significant changes to their risk of ill health by losing weight, becoming more active and eating a healthier diet.

Participants are targeted to achieve 5% to 10% reduction in body weight whilst improving fitness levels. Our experienced community coaches have been expertly trained to deliver this specific programme and they encourage participants to stay active and healthy while also having a positive effect on the healthy living choices of participants’ wider family and friends.

Each session lasts for approximately two hours and comprises of a one-hour interactive workshop, hosted in one of our match day lounges, to discuss lifestyle, diet and nutrition. This is then followed by an hour of physical activity, such as circuits, along with developing fitness components such as endurance and strength which all take place in and around the stadium, such as the gym, concourse areas and trackside. This programme is fully tailored to individual clients’ needs and requirements.

JOE Cole last night described the Mestalla Stadium as one of the most intimidating he played in during his 20 year professional career - and told the Celtic fans and players they will savour taking on Valencia there in the Europa League next year.

BRENDAN Rodgers is hoping to have all five of the first team regulars who missed Celtic’s defeat to Hibernian on Sunday available for their crucial Ladbrokes Premiership games against Aberdeen at Pittodrie and Rangers at Ibrox next week.

About Us

In the summer of 2006 a few of us decided to set up the Celticunderground website. At the time we were somewhat disillusioned at the cosy relationship between some fansites and the board which was developing and felt that we wanted to be part of something that wasn’t being influenced by the PLC. We were angry middleaged men and we weren’t going to take it anymore. Under the heading “About Us” we attempted to articulate something akin to a vision statement for the site. Looking back on what was written it’s clear that in some aspects we were spot on and in others we were hopelessly naive. The site has evolved into something that none of us could have predicted and we’d like to think that we’ll keep changing in the coming years. It might not be to everyone’s tastes but it will always be about genuine fans saying what they think because they love the club.
